The Bullies & the Yeti

Chapter 17: Silverbacks & Wolves

            Kin made her way to the hay barn and relaxed against the wall, she pulled out her phone and dialed. The voice Kin heard pick up was not only vocal but mental "What do you want." The video connected just after the audio did, then the two synced up with a jump of the image. The woman frowned at Kin it was one of the females from the silverback tribes in northern Canada. These silverbacks were offended when you called them yeti, they have strong telepathic abilities, and they don't believe in vocal names. "You just don't get it; he is mine and I don't like you constantly...."

         "Damnit woman, give me that..." The video blurred and jumbled as the phone was yanked out of the woman's hand. "Sorry Kin," he moved out of the tent they were in and settled into the stone chairs that wrapped around the fire pit at the center of their base-camp home. "what's up." He snapped his fingers and pointed at the tent. Off to the side Kin heard growling, he rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the screen.

          "Toka, you need to get better girlfriends." He chuckled as he waited for her to continue "Wess and Will seem to think I need to talk to Stewart, Ramsay and Oz about all of this. There are rules, and some of the people in charge can and will wipe memories.... then admit they did." 

          He nodded "None of us are okay with that ability but it's natural, it was born in."

          Kin laughed outright "No it's not... It is obtained by muse tricks while the mother is pregnant, or by manipulation that turns the shifter partially to a muse." Toka raised an eyebrow at her "Your speaking in your mind again... But I can guess what you were saying, You want to know how to prove it." he nodded "Check them for muse energy or and of the muse energy codes."

           "They are muse then." Kin nodded "Damn, that might actually help me a bit." He looked around then back at the screen, "Can I call you right back." Kin nodded and he hung up. 

          Kin got up and walked the farm, she was surprised to see how many of the wolves were here. Several wolves were foreign, they recently joined the pack for it's protections. Kin saw the huts and was heartbroken, she wished for more for them. They weren't hurting, they were comfortable and provided for but Kin wanted more for them. She made her way back to the hay barn and noticed why it wasn't being used anymore. A brand-new barn had been built this summer to store hay and straw; the old hay barn was not needed. She made her way to the corner of the barn and placed some calls, first she bought all the houses on a nearby cul-de-sac that backed up against the farm then she made plans to transform the old hay barn into an office and hang out spot for the pack. She had just finished all her plans when her phone buzzed.

          When she answered Toka was smiling and walking Kin could see his brothers walking behind him "You are not only right, you are amazing." He winked. "The problem leaders are being cast out, a new law was passed saying to be a leader you must pass a series of tests including bloodwork."

          "The fighting?"

          "Has stopped, here and in several other areas. Dad got on the phone with people from those tribe and told them your opinion... they agreed." He chuckled at his brothers rough housing beside him and playfully kicked them "The fighting is starting to stop species wide. It is seeming like you are right."

         "I know I am right Toka, there are dozens of species of yeti all need their own voice."

          He nodded "When you add to that the yeti that now go by silverback or other names..." he shrugged doing the math in his head "the number of variation within the species becomes hundreds."

          "You have a point," Kin's thought were running a million miles an hour. "First we need Alpha councils for each of those variations, it not fair to make your people choose names to accommodate mine that isn't telepathic.
